Gastronomy

From Gijón, it is a 21st century tavern that also has a gourmet shop

It opened its doors in front of the San Rafael hospital on Saturday, September 19 and, since then, the crowds have followed.

In less than two weeks,

Coalla

(Serrano, 203. Tel .: 911 083 144) has become the

wine bar

that all capital gourmets talk about and, of course, the

place to be

in this unfortunate Madrid autumn.

The reasons?

First, the impressive space, once occupied by a kitchen furniture store, which has an urban terrace and two floors.

On the ground floor, a huge central bar from which cheeses and

cold meats

and

shelves full of gourmet products

are dispatched

, such as canned food from Güeyu Mar, anchovies from Nardín, hams from Joselito or salmon from Ahumados Domínguez.

At the top,

thousands of bottles of wine

, from champagnes to generous, passing through great labels from all over the world and unexpected rarities, like a French merlot whose fermentation has been cut with the addition of armagnac, at more than reasonable prices.

In both, high tables with stools to consume.

Smoked anchovies from Nardín.

The second, its very long hours: it opens every day of the week from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., except Sundays, which closes at 3 p.m.

And we come to the third and main reason.

All wines can be taken on site at store prices

, served in perfect condition.

To accompany, a luxe snack menu divided into four sections, "Tapas", "Preserves", "Delicatessen" and "Desserts".

There is no cuisine here, but

top-quality products

with which to play in such fun combinations as the Matachana blood sausage toast and Güeyu Mar sardines;

you scold them with guacamole and anchovies or toast with bonito, peppers and wasabi vinaigrette.

More basic

, but equally satisfying, are the smoked anchovies, the Bologna mortadella portion with chopped pistachios, the XL mussels from Güeyu Mar or the cheese boards, in which we can find Asturian, Madrid, Italian or French products.

Matachana blood sausage with Güeyu Mar sardines,

Although Coalla is a newcomer to Madrid, we are not talking about any upstart, since

the mother house

, located in Gijón, was inaugurated in 1955 and has always been a meeting point for the

enopaths of the north

and for those who visited the city. .

In addition, it has an online store, which operates 24 hours a day and which, among other things,

was a lifesaver for more than one during confinement

.
